Today I asked Kru Tam how she thought I was doing at my job. She gave me positive feedback saying she could tell how much I cared for the students to learn. She did imply that sometimes I have to pull back a little – I think that is more related to my expectations than to my lessons.
Gratitude Journal
I am so happy and grateful for the beautiful sunrise I see every morning before school. It’s a reminder of the bigger things, the slow, slow movement of the universe. Nothing we can do but get on with it.
To-do list
- Most important * Be mentally prepared for the toughest classes of the week.
- Try to write email to Aaron during school hours – subject: books and kids.
- Clear all the Daily Stoic reading windows.
- Congratulate the kids on good work and good thinking.
- Compliment one of the other teachers.
- Follow up with Andrew about contact with Indra.
- Clear some emails.
- Study Thai for 30 minutes.
Did it list
- 30 squats and 30 weightless shoulder press
- 30 minutes study Thai – mostly prep
- Maintained calm and happiness through two of the three tough classes today
- I forgive myself for losing it for a second in that last class. How to stop from getting into that situation again? Maybe need to make my lessons more practical. I’m hoping the ClassDojo ideas lessons work out well for those classes.
- Asked Kru Tam for feedback on my performance – she said she could feel that I was really keen to help the students.
- She also advised me to try to give them more time and maybe make things a little easier.
- Sorted some more files for TCRAH
- Have an idea for TCRAH – to share the music files with a friend and get them to comment on the music, then incorporate that into the actual show.
- Read some more Daily Stoic articles and closed a few more Chrome tabs
- Unsubscribed from a blog – content was ok but I’m at the point of having to choose the ones I like best.
